Interface
As the speeds in your design
increase, you may notice more over-
shoot, ringing, and other perturba-
tions when connecting an oscillo-
scope probe. Probes form a resonant
circuit where they connect to the
device. If this resonance is within the
bandwidth of the oscilloscope probe
you are using, it will be difficult to
determine if the measured perturba-
tions are due to your circuit or the
probe.
Agilent is the only company that
has overcome the resonance formed
by the connection of a probe to a
device. The Agilent 1156/7/8A
probes optimize performance to
make your job easier:
•High input impedance of 100 k
Ω
and 0.8 pF that never resonates
low
•Flat frequency response across the
entire bandwidth of the probe
•A full 5 V peak-to-peak dynamic
range, and
•±15 V of offset.
Combined with the Agilent 54846A
Infiniium scope, the 1158A 4 GHz
probe offers you a full 2.25 GHz
of system bandwidth, giving you
accurate insight into your high-speed
devices.
